YOU i Labs announces beta program for intelligent software GPU with Android 2.x integration

Integration of isGPU dramatically boosts Android performance and reduces processor demands, particularly on lower-cost devices

OTTAWA, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ - YOU i Labs (www.youilabs.com), developer and marketer of intelligent graphics and user interface technologies, has watched with great interest as Google's Android platform has required more processing power with each subsequent release. In response, YOU i Labs today announced it has integrated its intelligent software graphics processing unit technology, or isGPU, into Android, creating a much slimmer and faster Android while maintaining its rich feature set. A call for participants in the beta program is now underway.

Already proven in over one million devices, isGPU is a cost-effective, 100-percent-software-based approach that brings a new level of responsiveness to the entire Android UI. Working with leading handset manufacturers and silicon companies, YOU i Labs has tested and demonstrated its isGPU on a wide array of hardware platforms running Android 2.x.

"The market is excited by the development opportunities that Android presents, but requires a way to exploit the platform on devices with minimal resources," said Jason Flick, CEO of YOU i Labs. "By integrating our isGPU technology into Android, we're offering the best of both worlds - one of the world's most popular and developer-friendly mobile operating systems running on lower-cost, consumer-friendly devices."

With the addition of the company's extensive graphics libraries into Android 2.x, user experiences on lower-cost Android devices will be transformed from sluggish and unimpressive to smooth and enjoyable. isGPU libraries support dozens of the leading hardware platforms and provide a 50 to 100 percent speed improvement.

In this post-iPhone era, usability is measured in frames per second and immediate response times. The device screen must move, without hesitation, to the user's every touch. It can't lag or stutter and leave the user waiting. isGPU makes Google's Android platform faster by working smarter and using less of the CPU's resources. Less processing also means longer battery life.

To enter the beta program, please send an email to [email protected] with "isGPU beta" in the subject line. A video demonstration of the isGPU on Android devices can be viewed at www.youtube.com/youilabs.
